Carole Dianne Hart, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully after a life lived with warmth, adventure, and unwavering devotion to her family. Born on January 18, 1944, in St. Louis, Missouri, Carole touched the lives of all who knew her with her generous spirit and zest for life.

Carole dedicated her earliest and most cherished years to raising her two children, pouring her heart into building a loving home and a strong family foundation. As her children grew, she channeled her energy and talents into a professional life, building a meaningful career with Weight Watchers, McDonnell Douglas, and later with A.G. Edwards, where she made lasting impressions on colleagues and clients alike.

Among her greatest joys was exploring the world beyond her doorstep. An avid and fearless traveler, Carole ventured to far corners of the globe and even lived abroad in Australia - an experience that spoke to her adventurous nature and her openness to all that life had to offer. Closer to home, she treasured her time at their condos at the  Lake of the Ozarks and in Florida, where sun-soaked days and cherished memories were made in abundance.

Above all, Carole is remembered for the extraordinary love she shared with her husband, Michael Hart. Together for 64 remarkable years, theirs was a partnership built on faith, devotion, laughter, and a lifetime of shared experiences.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Michael Hart; her son, Randy Hart, and wife Melissa, her daughter, Sheila Jones, and husband Jason; grandchildren Stacy Reed and husband Colby, Tyler Hart and wife Katie Jenner, Ryan Jones and fiancée Lisa Teson, Clayton Jones and wife Alex, and Hailey Jones; and four cherished great-grandchildren.

Carole lived fully, loved deeply, and left this world a far richer place for all who were fortunate enough to call her their own. She will be profoundly missed and forever remembered.

Beyond her professional endeavors, Carole made a lasting mark on the NCAA wrestling community as a passionate advocate and dedicated coordinator. Through her involvement with the St. Louis local wrestling organizing committee, she played an instrumental role in bringing the sport to her hometown community, working tirelessly to support athletes, families, and the broader wrestling world with the same warmth and dedication she brought to everything she did.
